Candle Patterns

Why Candle Patterns Matter in Trading

Candlestick patterns matter because they provide:

1. Early trend reversal signals

Before a trend changes, buyers and sellers show hesitation, exhaustion, or aggression. Candles capture these emotions early.

2. Clarity of market sentiment

You can quickly understand whether bulls or bears are in control.

3. Entry and exit confirmation

Combined with chart patterns, market structure, and volume profile, candle patterns significantly improve precision.

4. Risk management

Certain patterns provide tight stop-loss areas—like wicks, rejection levels, and candle lows/highs.

5. Works across markets

Whether it’s stocks, forex, crypto, commodities, or index trading, candle patterns behave the same because human psychology is universal.
